Good Morning Britain viewers have blasted ‘painful to watch’ Kate Garraway and Richard Madeley for their ‘really annoying and awkward’ habit just minutes into the show.
The co-hosts brought viewers the latest headlines on Thursday’s episode of the ITV breakfast news programme.
Segments covered topics from the upcoming five-day resident doctors’ strike, to the dangers of children under seven consuming slush drinks.
The pair also interviewed The Professionals actor Martin Shaw, 80, about him turning down the opportunity to play James Bond.
They were joined in the studio by weather presenter Laura Tobin and reporter Marverine Cole to help host.
But despite the full schedule, viewers could not focus – they were distracted by Kate, 58, and Richard, 69, constantly talking over each other.

One said on X: ‘Richard and Kate talking over each other – awkward lol.’
Another commented on the social media platform: ‘Why are Richard and Kate over talking each other. F***ing annoying!’
Someone else weighed in: ‘@GMB can you please get Richard and Kate to stop talking over each other… it’s horrible to watch.’
Another similarly said: ‘Richard and Kate shouting over each other, unwatchable.’
Meanwhile, one commented: ‘Richard and Kate are both just constant interrupters. It’s embarrassing and hard to watch.’
One viewer thought there might be more to it: ‘I get the feeling Kate and Richard don’t like each other. It’s always a match on who will talk first…’
Some commented particularly on Richard: ‘He’s so annoying, constantly talking over and interrupting Kate… He never lets her complete a sentence!
‘Just pipe down Madeley, you’re doing my head in!’

Similarly, another person said: ‘Does Richard Madeley think he is superior to Kate Garraway? Doesn’t let her finish statements she is making.’
Someone else agreed, replying: ‘They both seem off this morning, not a great chemistry.’
Elsewhere in the episode, Kate and Richard interviewed Scottish broadcaster and former Celebrity Masterchef star Aasmah Mir, 53.
They spoke about the ongoing scandal afflicting the cooking competition, now both John Torode, 59, and Gregg Wallace, 60, have been sacked as presenters.
The GMB co-presenters were also joined by entertainment reporter Richard Arnold.
He had exciting news for viewers on the last series of the hit Netflix sci-fi programme Stranger Things and the new HBO TV adaptation of Harry Potter.
It comes after Kate recently left GMB viewers distracted again – but, that time, by a particular outfit choice.
An episode at the start of this month, which she hosted with Robert Rinder, 47, saw her wear a butter yellow top and a cream, leaf print jacket.

But some viewers recognised her outfit from This Morning’s makeover segment with Gok Wan, 50, on the episode of the ITV chat show just the day before.
The fashion expert had styled guest Stephanie, who was preparing for her step-daughter’s wedding.
Stephanie revealed her look to co-hosts Ben Shephard, 50, and Cat Deeley, 48, as Gok explained the pyjama-inspired blazer and trousers were from Monsoon.
Gok commented: ‘It’s got to be about comfort, you’re going off to a wedding. You’re going to be doing everything from dancing, sitting, standing…
‘A pyjama suit is very on trend at the moment.’
It appears Kate decided to wear the same stylish blazer for her appearance on Good Morning Britain and some viewers took to X to point it out.
One penned: ‘I’m sure Kate’s outfit was used on a makeover on #ThisMorning the other day? #GMB.’
Someone else added: ‘#GMB Kate’s outfit is the one Gok dressed one of his makeover models in on This Morning yesterday!’
